Out Of It 02:38
List: I am the dish, I am the day, I’m a static claim Light cut through the shades, hit both of our frames And it feels okay Can you get me out of it Can you pull away the din If just for a little bit, I wanna be okay Song: a mystery, a bat finding its feet screams out in a sea of -Dark!! Can’t take it away, can’t give it away, I wanna be okay Can you get me out of it Can you pull away the din If just for a little bit, I wanna be okay

Burned Off 03:43
Burned off in the heat of an afternoon After six weeks straight soaked to the bone I was trembling, wondering could that knob still turn By this ash hand, or would the motion mask the room in a grey winter Does the silence and the sill know: When will the wind blow? When will it burn off? When will it burn off? Shaken, but couldn’t shake it off of me Saw it, cloud of levity You were the nightingale, I was the wretched rail that takes the train away To chase elusive dollar on some breathless day And then it burns off Then it burns off Why does it burn off I must take a drink before I meet the man I am said to become Intertia’s crocodile opens the door and you’re eclipsed by the sun

Codeine 03:28
Can’t you let me in they said “I can’t, I can’t” Walk around till morning-time looking for a hand Every single one outstretched reaching for the light, coming off the engine and they burn up inside The car is nice, the leather’s fine, they’re heading for the hills Happier to be burning than the one crushed in the grill But I’m just hitching a ride Codeine, a moments silence Sing, trading time for kindness Fade to black and close the act--cuz Tony is not coming back Angel rust, digital dust is hanging in the air Shedding light it bursts and shines and flirts with its despair Shakily a melody comes across the sky, hits the lips of every kid and they begin to cry That “I’m just singing along” Ooo Codeine, a moments silence, Sing, trading time for kindness Codeine, a moments silence Sing, trading time for lightness Every past stretched out in strands, the thread to lace the coat Wishes, I, make the dye and future pokes the hole

Petty Crime 03:42
Caroline, I think we might be cursed We’ve been riding around this town in a hearse Caroline I know it makes you sick, Despite myself I can’t rid myself of it Anyone else feel the air is thin Shirt sure fits a bit too tight around my chin Keep an eye outside I’ll grab the key We’ll take this Lincoln for a ride down 93 It’s petty crime Caroline, I told you a lie This is no light but I’m afraid to die Caroline you know I’m no quaker But death isn’t a visitor when the hearse drivers your neighbor Hearse in reverse tore down the interstate A story to drive backwards through what I can’t change I’ll knock on the nursery door and you grab him Oddity pallbearer “would you let me in?” It’s petty crime

Easier 03:19
Godsend, shouldering the burden of lightness Shaking all my loose ends, marionette Falling out of orbit again Size of Texas, I’ll get my kicks sent to Trash Island Does it feel a little easier out in the water? Save no debris for me, I am the raft Does it feel a little easier, forgotten fodder Save no debris for me, I am the raft Floating, lone star of the ocean I will be This fish took a trip to the depository Cashing all the cans that made the place I heard he bought a soda with what he made Does it feel a little easier out in the water? Save no debris for me, I am the raft Does it feel a little easier, forgotten fodder Save no debris for me, I am the raft A reckoning like this, I’m gunna get my kicks (trash island is a place and feeling, all turn of phrase has lost its meaning) Does it feel a little easier out in the water?

Never Call 02:47
Why would you Why would you call Why would you Why would you call When you’re calling me I’m wired and shut now You’re calling me up but I cannot get up now But I don’t mind no I don’t mind I just need some time When you’re calling me up To make myself up now A cauterised cut Better seal myself shut now But I’ve no mind to waste your time I’m no station sign on your train line when you’re calling me up And you don’t ever call me, you don’t You don’t ever call me, no not at all So why would you call me now

At each other’s throats they shared a hope to catch a breathe, you learn lizard ethics And I’m not one for faith but the towncar Lincoln made just might be a godsend Look at the way the actor smokes as he leans and cuffs his coat, think Jesus did rise again And I won’t stand for that, but try me I might sit for it, oh baby tell me good things Montage music, A brand new soul and a new set of clothes I need montage music! Might might not be right but it might get you what you like: another blood stained refrain Baby how well can you wear your cross to bear, you suffer fools like god’s only I want a life outside of pain, the price is right and sour cream: a midsummer night’s dream And I won’t stand for that but I might sit for it, oh baby tell me good things! To make me whole again Oh here we go again I need I need I need Montage music, A brand new soul and a new set of clothes I need montage music! Your tea is burning In a pot with no water And I sit and I see In the black smoke next to father Montage music!

Jester 03:23
Just cuz you’re dressed up like a rodeo clown, a succulent in the desert using spikes to keep out what the water kept in So when the makeup grew thin, the kiss the sun left was a burn But I heard what you’re singing is the song of the season You’re a clown and a cactus, you’re a kiss and a curse You’re an offering left out so god will assure I won’t ever catch my reflection in your eye Oh baby you’re a jester out of work But I heard what you’re singing is the song of the season Jester out of work

Paid For 03:38
Mother I don’t like seeing you walking worry lines to their end A crystal forms in the pressure and pain and silences the loudness There’s a man selling flowers in the intersection, Knee deep in the sun’s syrup and resin And the day creeps, the mind squeaks Trying to stave off its own presence Don’t ever pay for your painful You’ve got to get it for free Taking tarnish and tangle Making something to see But it gets painful Get me a plant that I can’t kill, I’ll get you an evening that you can’t ruin My hand is a stamp, my tongue is a lane Cutting and blotting at their incongruence But a hand can’t stamp itself, and a tongue can’t lance itself Oh I could be of use but I just need a little help So divide the parts, apply the marks and send them off like christmas cards Don’t ever pay for your painful You’ve got to get it for free Taking tarnish and tangle Making something to see I wanna lay with my lover In the heart of the river I just laughed at the weeds You made dandelion tea But it gets paid for Painful Hateful Hateful Idle/Idol Handfull Handfull Child Child Paid for Paid for

Ben slipped away last night into a poppy grove He was peaking for light through a key hole He just wanted to know “Do other flowers grow?” His mother came over today to collect his clothes He had a function he had to get to, neither guest nor host He went “Oh do other flowers grow?” Carnations and lilies were left by guests, but these weren’t the flowers that took his breathe Wonder now if he knows that other flowers grow? He went “Oh do other flowers grow?”

Wax Face 02:43
Wick wore down I let the candle drown in the wax that bound its namesake Candle knows at the very most you’ll get enough heat to kill a flame And when the wax is free make a figurine and put it in a museum Curator was always so damn sure they’d picked the perfect presentation Oh I am laughing so hard I shed a tear Oh Dani we got nothing Oh Dani ain’t that something Oh Dani what’re you humming Oh Dani the sun’s coming and that’s something
